Yes, the "radio version" on the commercial cassingle and promo CD is the
same as the album version on "Best Of".]]> Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:17:23 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=36548&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#36548 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=36523&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#36523 Author: jimct

Mark, thanks a million for sharing those "announcer" source details. I also
loved both your "don't know why that album was at my house....no one was
learning to dance!" and your "lab coat/clipboard/pointer" visual is spot on!

But one question remains. Did K-Tel even know that the song lifted "source
audio" from one of their own LPs, and then try to demand a "sampling fee"
from Atlantic? My guess? No. And the statute of limitations has probably
passed. As for K-Tel? I've read bankruptcy articles several times over the
years for the label, but then they've "re-appeared" with new product a couple
of times, since the 70's.]]> Mon, 28 Jan 2013 03:29:15 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=36523&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#36523 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=36516&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#36516 Author: MMathews

oh yeah try and find that album if you can - i wish i
still had it.
This really stiff announcer is talking you thru each dance
step in the most clinical way, it's a riot.
You can almost "hear" him wearing a lab coat, holding a
clipboard and using a pointer.

Sounds like the same guy to me! That was so cool to see. Now I want that K-tel album :)]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2013 19:55:17 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=36515&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#36515 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=36509&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#36509 Author: musicmanatl

Mark, that is a great find! I didn't realize where that narration came from. That is hilarious. I always loved the Bingoboys record just for the narration alone. When I watched the commercial, I think I actually remembered that album when it was being sold. :)

I had forgotten about this song....

A real hoot for me is the narration instruction is
sampled from a K-tel album called "Let's Disco!" ... we
had this album in the house back then, but i don't know
why, no one was learning to dance.
But i thought it was a riot, and i recognized the guy
right away.

youtube has an old commercial for the album, sounds like
the same guy in the commercial:

my commercial cassingle issued as atlantic 87756 states the
version on the cardboard sleeve as well as the cassette's
face as the 'radio version' with no stated run time but
runs 3:46....i believe the cassingle version is the same as
the lp version....but i'm not 100% sure....

Does anyone have the cassette single that can report back as to the running time? Also was there a commercial or dj vinyl 45 issued for this song in the U.S. and if so what is the running time?]]> Sun, 27 Jan 2013 10:09:36 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=36499&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#36499 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=127&PID=516&title=how-to-dance-bingoboys#516 Author: Pat Downey
